Global Tectonics - GEOS385
This unit integrates recent advances in geodynamics, geophysics, geochemistry, and geology to understand the long-term tectonic evolution of the Earth, and its impact on the surface. Topics covered include structure and dynamics of the Earth, physical processes driving Earth dynamics, fundamentals of modern earthquake seismology, plate motions through time, paleomagnetism, global supercycles, and recent developments in the understanding of mantle/lithosphere dynamics.
